Known problems:
1. On certain NVIDIA cards, text is missing from ROX desktop icons.
Possible solutions:
a) delete /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-noaccel.conf --- but beware, on certain cards if you remove this file the computer can get hard lockups when trying to play youtube. If you get the hardlockups then try deleting /usr/X11R7/lib64/vdpau directory.
b) use xorgwizard and choose either "modesetting" or "fbdev" driver.

2. Savefile on USB may not be recognised. If this is a problem please add the following boot parameters: "loadmodules=ohci-pci" to your grub or syslinux config file._________________-= The Fatdog Team (kirk and jamesbond) =-

Reserved..
Big bug.. no warning on low battery power cuts without notice..
Where are the other mirrors . http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/iso/ is dog slow..

OK took an hour at above URL.

Notes: boots from SDCARD in BIOS and UEFI modes. Can't see icons of SDcard when boots UEFI but can in BIOS mode. Had to reset card.
Not consistent, sometimes shows 2 of three partitions, or none
grub.cfg is not in EFI boot img so can't edit it when dd'ed to SDcard or USB.. I'm guessing its using the copy in ISO read only side. Will try to copy over and see if it can default for me. NO always sees frozen copy on (hd0) even after I deleted iso9660 driver
Spell checker still shreds on input boxes within SeaMonkey ( I guess the fix got unfixed, had not seen this in a while ) It seems to be related to ATI chipset.

linux /vmlinuz base2ram=expand
base2ram=expand option not in help pages under boot options
This command line option still works Last edited by Ted Dog on Thu 26 Dec 2013, 12:01; edited 4 times in total

Hey L18L

Merry Christmas to all of you_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

The built-in wireless adapter wouldn't work reliably, dropping the
connection often so I plugged in my usb wireless adapter and it works
reliably.
I haven't tested much else yet other than to play a video at youtube
which worked great.

EDIT:
I forgot to uncheck the box if I was going to use the network wizard so I think the problem with the built-in wireless adapter is fixed.

EDIT:
Still having problems with the wireless connection.

If SAMBA4 is smaller and equally featured and fast, as well, why is SAMBA3?

Anyway, this is still a very very very fast FATDOG.

This is one great achievement and a shining star in this community. MOST PCs sold since 2007 and certainly all since 2009 are 64bit capable, thus this may be a very welcomed distro to many members, new and old, in the community..

Happy Holidays and THANKS to both of you (and others I'm sure who have contributed/tested) for this Holiday present to us._________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Very nice, thank you James & kirk - no problems so far.
Would suggest Claws more often favoured over Sylpheed by many. Anyone discovered whether new EudoraOSE works? [Yes, I know it's supposed to be == to Thunderbird now, but it isn't and Moz has retained the superior UI for the moment.]

I've had a full install of fatdog on a fairly old laptop since 620. Currently have a full install of 630rc1 but using rc2 off of a USB stick.
A problem I had with 630rc1 was going onto youtube (with any browser) was making my cpu usage hit the 90s and my fan go nuts. This isn't happening with rc2 at the moment, so I'm happy.

I also love the way the task bar looks now, especially the new battery indicator!

Just wondering, is it possible to set a UK keyboard? Also, is there a way to make the side windows in the menu instant like they are on other puppies?
